Dr Who?

You are a doughnut 🍩 it is next to Sheffield United’s name!

Everyone bracing themselves for 2nd half Saints? Bring on the clowns 🤡

And Bournemouth will run out of talent, like we have and their luck will run out in being able to gel a team together, and they will fall through the trapdoor again. Probably in the next 2/3 seasons they will go down. Brighton, Forest and others like them have some success, like we did and then godown again. Looks like West Ham’s turn this season. In the end even Sunderland, Palace, Brentford and even Villa will sink again.

We are still his parent club, he would be silly to do anything negative expect state the facts.

Only positive I can take from this game now is Hull looked really good against a handy and hard to beat Preston side.

Vestergaard scores for Leicester at Wrexham in 90th minute. Wrexham we’re on a great run, but now wobbling again. Still doing better than us though!

WBA were playing really well under their old manager manager and I could not believe how they were not winning games. He was so unlucky, but it is a results business, but I think he would have turned things around. Now they are in the shit.

What the blue half are saying! https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/portsmouthfc-news-tondaeckert-southampton-hull-willstill-frattonpark-southcoastderby-5479993?cx_testId=1&cx_testVariant=cx_1&cx_artPos=2&cx_experienceId=EX4XFGK573FX&cx_experienceActionId=showRecommendationsDT2H7FXWWFOG8#cxrecs_s

Seriously I cannot do this anymore, wtf 🤬

Just goes to show that in a lot of cases (not all) it is how the club is managed. But probably a bit of both. It does show that our club are managed terribly

Also would love to be a fly on the wall, not only in the boardroom, but on the wall of Rasmus home, to see what they talk about when it comes to Saints. How they think it is going, what their vision is and how they think things are going. It just seems like madness. I suppose they saw us get promotion after relegation and must have thought they knew how to do it, and thought they could repeat. It is clear that even though we got promotion, we under achieved with the squad we had, and this season with a weaker squad than last time in the championship, we are really showing that we are being mismanaged top to bottom!

Sports Repulic need to change and realise their mistakes or sell up and feck off. I would say the latter would be more likely though, which is a shame as they have monetary back we require. They are fecking weird peeing their money up the wall time and time again and watching something clearly that does not work!

Wise words 😜

I think it will be a good bet for those without a connection to Saints!

Their last 6 games they have lost 1 and won 3.

So let’s say Sheffield Wednesday are nailed on. Maybe Oxford because of their ridiculous decision to sack their manager just before Christmas. But saying this they got a 0-0 draw with Bristol City yesterday. Then Charlton won and I thought they were in free fall, but in the last 6 they have picked up 2 wins and 2 draws. So maybe one out of us, the blue lot down the road that have more fight for this kind of thing, and their fans will not let them not give 100%. Then for me I think Blackburn will be the the other team. WBA I think have enough to battle it out, but look dire with the results, but have been playing ok for a while. The fact that I’m analysing the relegation is a sad state that we should not be in. It is just a good job that Wednesday are in such a state!

At least you are prepared for the worse, and expect this. Anything better will be a bonus. last time I went was 2003/4 it was terrible. Marched from the train station to the ground, got pelted with all sorts of objects. Only got into the ground about 15 minutes before kick off though. They won, so they all cleared off home happy. The other one was AK testimonial and we smashed them, and they went nuts and smashed up their own city after chasing us around Fratton. Again it was the train and an evening game. I think the fact we will not win will help. In my experience if they lose they go freking mental!

We also had owners that had a clear plan, and there was a togetherness from the new age of Southampton Football Club. Anyone coming in under the current set up will struggle.

I think we will get a point.

We are in serious trouble. 7 without a win, we are in a downward spiral and they can be massively difficult to get out of! We are 2nd bottom in the form guide to Sheffield Wednesday, so that tells you just how bad we are. Do not under estimate how much we are seriously in the poop 💩 IF we get dragged into a dogfight, we will not win. We are not physically or mentally strong enough, as we will find out next Sunday when that blue lot come at us. I would not want to be in that away end next week, for this reason. I was there for the 1-0 and I was there for the 4-1, it a horrible place to be at the best of times, but when you are playing like we are, no thanks, not for me this time. Also the travelling 6 hours each way. it’s going to be horrible, I think I might cycle for the day instead!

Tonda will be here until the end of the season, or until we drop into the bottom 3, which could be by the end of February at this rate. Surely not the end January 😧, so in summary he might be gone soon 😂 We are in such shit storm I am not even sure what we are going to do next anyway. I cannot get angry anymore, I’m just defeated by the club, and can only shake my head. My boy asked me ‘why do I support these lot’ he was born in Cambridge and lives in Carlisle. It’s my fault!

Spot on, but do you think he notices that he is getting it all wrong, because he needs too, or we are screwed. Or does he have so much arrogance that he thinks all is good? Just typing this I cannot for the life of me think that he thinks this, so why is he not putting it right. Is it because it is his mates, has he let personal friendships get in the way and blur his vision. He is not stupid man, he is a success business man, but when it comes to football these kind of people seem to lose the plot and think they can do it on their own. It’s crazy 🤪

Also can Leo stop coming over and look sad and dejected and trying to explain to the fans. Yes come over and clap, but do not come over for a chat every week. I could not give a toss, just do it on the pitch!

Correct, it needs to be done as a top to bottom exercise, but this needs to come from the top. New advisers, new manager with experience, coaching staff the managers own, then the managers players, not those advising, apart from scouts that are in it for Saints and have experience. The key thing here is experience. You cannot keep striping out players and bringing more in, when you do not have the right set up above them. They lose motivation and you go through it all over again. Every part of the set up needs to be working and well oiled. We continually try and make a system work without the right set up and players. Round holes, square pegs! It all has to fit together to work. Look at Wrexham, they are a prime example of letting people in their own area of the club get on with it and they work as a team towards to number one objective. Lots do not like them, but watching it is a good watch and how business should be operated correctly. Yes they might miss out this season, but they have more hope than us!

Yes strip out ‘top to bottom’ as mentioned. Start again with proper management in place. Keep it simple and do not over complicate. Get rid of the old ideals as that kinda football has moved on. Blank bit of paper. Here in Carlisle they are still trying to get rid of the deadwood a year after the owners realising they were being taken as mugs by some football people. They now stay out of the footballing side of things. Might go up this season, but think they will be spot on next season. The thing is they realised their mistakes, but will SR?
